What does the "egg" measure?

The egg is a high-accuracy biosensor that enables breath-based measurement of pulse rate variability via gamified protocol. It is not a wearable but a very smart portable mobile game controller as it embeds a proprietary breath kinetic energy directional sensor and a high resolution thumb photoplethysmograph.
